Special thanks to everyone who came out to the Town Ballroom for our Best of Buffalo party last night! For those of you who didn’t make it out, and just can’t wait for our Best of Buffalo wrap-up to hit the streets on Thursday, you’ll find a list of our 2009 winners below.

Congratulations to our winners, as well as all our nominees. Thank you once again to all our readers who took the time to vote.

Update (5/7/09): Along with this week’s issue, we’ve posted a nicer looking version of the list, along with a photo gallery from the party… so head over to that page instead.

We’ve tallied your votes, printed a hundred-odd nifty plaques for the winners. We’ve invited restaurants from all over Western New York to feed you. The Skiffle Mistrels will play; Lance Diamond will dance and sing; DJ Lil Joe will spin records; the Stripteasers will strip.

It’s at the Town Ballroom, 6-9pm. Get there promptly if you’re hungry.

The voting has begun. Get your ballot started here.
